 Definition:
The US FDA (2001)defines a biomarker as a
characteristic i.e. objectively measured &
evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic,
pathogenic or pharmacologic responses to
therapeutic intervention.
 WHO (2010)
 Biomarkers includes-
Almost any measurement reflecting an
interaction between a biological system and
a potential hazard, which may be chemical,
physical, or biological; The measured
response may be functional and
physiological, biochemical at the cellular
level or a molecular interaction.
 Ex : Pulse and blood pressure through basic chemistries
to more complex laboratory tests of blood and other
tissues.

Ideal biomarker
Bio marker introduction
Biomarker & Diagnosis
Ideal Marker for diagnosis
Should have great sensitivity (>0.9), specificity
(>0.9), and accuracy in reflecting total disease
burden.
A tumor marker should also be prognostic of
outcome and treatment.
Samples for biomarker detection
Blood, urine, or other body fluids samples
Tissue samples.
Biomarker for Screening
 The marker must be highly specific, minimize
false positive and negative
 The marker must be able to clearly reflect the
different stages of the disease (early)
 The marker must be easily detected without
complicated medical procedures.
 The disease markers released to serum and urine
are good targets for application of early
screening.
 The method for screening should be cost
effective.
Biomarker
Detection of biomarker  diagnosis
Self properties, e.g enzymatic activities,
Antibodies, IHC, ELISA.
Detection of biomarker
Quantitative a link between quantity of the
marker and disease
Qualitative a link between exist of a marker and
disease.
Quantitative Approaches
Stable Isotope Labeling methods
adds heavy isotopes to one sample so
chemically identical compounds are mass
shifted
added to the peptides/proteins using reactive
groups
added to the proteins in vivo using heavy
amino acids
can be multiplexed
Label free methods
extracted ion chromatograms
spectral counting
Validation of Biomaker
 Accuracy (agreement with a reference)
 Precision (repeatability, reproducibility)
 Limit of Detection (sensitivity)
 Interference, Cross-reactivity (specificity)
 Sample preparation / conditions
 Performance around the cut-off
 Potential for carryover, cross-hybridization.
Biomarker Uses
 Diagnosis, in symptomatic patients
 Early detection (screening), enabling intervention at an
earlier and potentially more curable stage than under usual
clinical diagnostic conditions
 Monitoring of disease response during therapy, with
potential for adjusting level of intervention (e.g. dose) on a
dynamic and personal basis
 Risk assessment, leading to preventive interventions for
those at sufficient risk
 Prognosis, allowing for more (less) aggressive therapy for
patients with worse (better) prognosis
 Prediction. E.g., predicts safety, efficacy (PK/PD) of a
specific therapy, thereby providing guidance in selecting it
for patients or tailoring its dose.
Last three are attempts to predict the future.
Advantages Disadvantages
Objective assessment Timing is critical
Precision of measurement Expensive (cost for analysis)
Reliable; validity can be established Storage (longevity of samples)
Less biased than questionnaires Laboratory errors
Disease mechanisms often studied Normal range difficult to establish
Homogeneity of risk or disease Ethical responsibility
Biomarker
Biomarkers in Sepsis
Ideal biomarker for sepsis
 Sensitive and specific for bacterial infection .
 Single reliable cut-off value.
 Unaffected by acute illness or chronic disease.
 Level correlates with severity and mortality.
 Short half-life.
 Inexpensive and timely result (<1hr).
 Ex . Procalcitonin ,CRP,aptt,TNF, IL
 The potential role of biomarkers for diagnosis
remains undefined.
 Recomendation
 Use of low procalcitonin levels or similar
biomarkers to assist the clinician in the
discontinuation of empiric antibiotics in patients
who initially appeared septic, but have no
subsequent evidence of infection (grade 2C).

Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2013
Biomarkers in malaria
Malaria diagnosis
serological biomarker
 Rapid detection tests (RDTs) - immunochromatography
assay.
Plasmodial lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH).
Histidine-rich protein II (HRP II).
 Published sensitivities of RDTs for P. falciparum range
from comparable to those of good field microscopy (>
90% at 100500 parasites/亮l of blood) to very poor (40
50%) for some widely used products.

The use of rapid diagnostic tests. Geneva, Roll Back Malaria, WHO Regional Office for the
Western Pacific and UNDP/World Bank/WHO/UNICEF Special Programme for Research
 WHO maintains a list of RDT manufacturers with
ISO 13485:2003 certification.
Advantages
 Rapid diagnosis.
 Fewer requirement of trained and skilled
personal.
Disadvantages
 Unpredictable sensitivity.
 Inability to differentiate between new infection
and recently treated infection as few antibodies
(HRP2) persist for 2 to 3 weeks.
Bio marker introduction
Biomarkers in TB
TB pleural effusion (ADA)
 Diagnosis of TB pleural effusion is a challenging task.
None of the diagnostic modalities available till date
are able to
diagnose TB pleural effusion as
 So ADA is being used as a biomarker in diagnosing TB
pleural
effusion .
 It is a quantitative biomarker produced from T
Lymphocytes .

LAM
 Detection of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell
wall antigen lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in urine
permits diagnoses of tuberculosis (TB).
 This can be achieved at the point-of-care within
just 30 minutes using the Determine TB-LAM,
which is a commercially available, lateral-flow
urine strip test assay.
 Currently this test is validated in africa in HIV
positive patients .
 Sensitivity and specificity are low in compared to
the Xpert MTB/RIF assay.
Advantages
 simplicity of use,
 lack of instrumentation,
 speed of use with results available after 25
minutes
 Low cost (initially marketed at $3.50 per test)
 Implemented at the point-of-care.
 This is currently used in patients enrolled for
ART treatment as a rapid test to rule out
dissemenated TB.
 CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) Total tau
T-tau  increase (sensitivity- 95% & specificity- 84%).
 CSF Phosphorylated tau
P-tau - increase (sensitivity- 95% & specificity- 83%).
 CSF A硫
A硫42  decrease (sensitivity- 95% & specificity- 82%).

FDG 18 Glucose ) atrophy of Hippocampus (sensitivity

 SPECT scanning (63% sensitivity and an 87%
specificity).

Editor's Notes

  1. The utility of procalcitonin levels or other biomarkers (such as CRP) to discriminate the acute inflammatory pattern of sepsis from other causes of generalized inflammation (eg, postoperative, other forms of shock) has not been demonstrated
  2. Currently who recomends use of
